IA vs. EE

I've had a lot of EE posts lately, I know. But what can I say? It's a big part of my life right now.

Just posing a question - which did you like to do better, the IA or the EE? Not taking into account timeframes or anything: would you rather write a 2,000 word research paper with a clear structure on a history event of your choice, or a 4,000 word research paper with a much more flexible structure and on a topic and even subject of your choice?

I'm still not sure what my answer would be. IA, because it's easier and requires less thinking and creativity (which takes more time and can be exhausting). But EE because I really don't enjoy history, but my EE topic is interesting to me.

What do you think?

  1. I don't like either of my topics anymore. My EE is over-extended fluff and will likely score low. I don't like the free reign we were given with it: I felt obliged to write about a subject that was likely to be important in my life but now it has made me have second thoughts. The IA will be easier to bang out but the word limit might cause problems...oh well. Challenge accepted, I suppose!

    2. Cody if I could like this status, similar to a Facebook like, I would.

  2. I'd rather write the EE, I've had more fun writing it then writing the IA. It's more fun to be able to decide your topic rather then be confined to specific list and then find one little thing out of there.
